14 WINNETKA TALK February 25, 1928 Gulf Port Proves Mecca for North Shore Families Wilmette and Winnetka have been, and are, well represented at the south- ern resorts during the winter months. Many families have traveled to Gulf Port, Miss, and have stayed at the Edgewater Gulf hotel, which is under the same management as the Edge- water Beach hotel in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. French of 901 Chestnut avenue, Wilmette, returned last week from a vacation of a few weeks at the Edgewater Gulf. They also visited in Biloxi, which is but a few miles from the hotel. They met, quite accidentally, in the lobby of the hotel, their friends the C. C. Tathams of 349 Hawthorn lane, Winnetka, who are still in the South. Miss Maurine Tatham has recently joined her parents in Gulf Port. They expect to return about March 1. In addition to these two north shore families, were Mr. and Mrs. George F. Gonsalves of 919 Hill road, Winnetka, who returned this past week after re- maining there three weeks. A fourth family was the Fritz Wag- ner, Jrs.,, of 384 Hawthorn lane, Win- netka, who returned Sunday, Febru- ary 19. They included New Orleans, and Memphis, in addition to a short stay in Gulf Port. During their ab- sence, Mrs. Wagner's mother, Mrs. M. D. Shipman of DeKalb, Ill, stayed with their daughter, Miss Louise Wag- ner.

S. F. A very interesting and well-attended meeting of the North Shore Wellesley circle was held Tuesday, February 21, at the home of Mrs. Richard C. Lake, 1708 Ridge avenue, Evanston. Mrs. Ralph Brown, president of the Chi- cago Wellesley club and the councillor for thé club, Mrs. Earl White, chair- man of the Club's committee for the Alumnae association, who, as our rep- resentatives, have recently attended the Alumnae council held in Wellesley early in February, and Mrs. Irwin Rew, who happened to be there at the same time, gave full and varied re- ports of the council. Mrs. Ralph Brown spoke of the business accomplished by the council, the most important being the final de- cision to use the Dix system of re- union beginning with 1929. Mrs. Earl White told very picturesquely of the faculty play concerning the Wellesley traditions, which is presented once in four years and happened to come at the time the alumnae were there. Mrs. Rew spoke very interestingly of her experiences during her trip, especially of a pleasant visit with Dean Alice Vinton Waite and her sister. The club was interested in hearing of the new Botany building, of which Wellesley has a right to be very proud, and of Severance, the new wing of Tower Court. The question of the Green room in Alumnae hall of which the furnishing was our gift to Wellesley, was put before the club. Our representatives said that the general feeling about the room is that it is too somber. A list of suggestions of improvement by those who have seen the room was read, and after a short discussion, the general feeling of the club was that inasmuch as we had furnished the room, we wished it to be satisfactory. Camp Fire Girls Help Boost Health Program Winnetka Camp Fire Girls are co- operating with other Chicago girls' organizations in a three months' Health program laid down for girls by the Chicago Council of Social Agen- cies.
